HIERARCHY OF j. s.
TOACT AS COUNCIL
Catholic Dignitaries in Ses-
sion Here Decide on
Organization.

The cardinals. archbishops and
bishops Of the Catholic Church Of
America, in council at the Catholic
University, decided this morning to
organize the hierarchy Of the United
States as a national Catholic welfare
council to further the religious, edu-
cational and social. well being OF
catholicism in America. This council
will aid the Catholic press and pro-
mote Catholic publicity. 1t will further
in foreign and home missions.
Thus organized, the council will
meet annually at times and places to
be designated. An administrative
committee was appointed to act in
the name Of the hierarchy in the in
tervals between meetings. This COM
mfttee is composed Of Archbishop
Dougherty Of Philadelphia, Archbishop
Hanna OF San; Francisco, Archbishop
Dowling Of St Paul and Bishop Cane
vim OF Pittsburgh, Bishop Muldoon Of
Rockford, Ill. Bishop Russell, Charles
ton, 8. c., and Bishop Schrembs Of To-
The council will organize bureaus on
edocation, press and literature. social
and lay societies. In each bureau, the
directive committee will be under
eplscopal supervision. It was decided
also to issue soon joint pastoral let
States dealing with the most import
ant Religious, educational, social and
economic matters now calling for the
attention and sympathy of Catholic
authority.
Other important matters discussed
included preparation Of a satisfactory
Catholic census and Of q Catholic di-
rectory of the clergy.

citizens do not see or hear. In reply
to.a direct question he said he did not
believe that he should use the infiu-
ence of the Post to cause the break

."You think the woman's bureau is q
menace?" Mr.. Syme asked.
xJust a dangerous toy for nice wom-
en- to play with" responded Mr.. Nc
Lean.
After Mr.. Mclean had been excused
and left the hearing. Mrs. Van
Winckle explained that her bureau
had been interested. in the case
through a nurse in the hospital whose
suspicious were aroused because q
woman friend of the girl appeared
under three aliases. because the. girl
herself did not know who was con-
tributing to her support. Mrs. Van
Winckle explained that Mrs. Botaw
when she went to the hospital to in
vestigate went directly to- this girls
room instead of to the hospital au-
thorities, which accounts for any feef-
ing of resentment on the part Of the
hospital authorities. She said that
when she found out Mrs. Mclean was
interested in the case she wished to
be very conciliatory. and she ex-
planned that when she went with Mrs.
Botaw to call on Mrs. Mclean at her
residence she hoped to get Mrs. Nc
Lean to make generous contribution
for a new house of detention, when
Mrs. Mclean understood the. work OF
the woman's bureau.
Mrs. Van Winckle said that after
waiting twenty-five minutes to see
Mrs. Mclean they were ushered into
room, and as soon as she began
to. exalain the case and mentioned
the name of the woman who had

to the committee one OF tho woman's
alleged aliases. that woman stepped
from behind q curtain. She said she
never got very far with her explana-
tion. and that, as she passed out she
saw man seated in the hall. She
felt as though she was being epied
upon and that detective might be
hidden most anywhere. Afterw2rd she
inquired who the man seated in the
hall was, and says she found out that
it was Mr.. Lambert, Mr.. McLean's
attorney.
Mrs. Van Winckle said that Mr.. Nc
Lean did threaten to close the bureau
and that he was accompanied to her
Office by his cousin, Mr.. Bugher. She
says that she begged Mr.. Mclean "to
be decent and not injure our work" :"
She said that she later met Mr.. Nc
Lean, and he said to her: LAS much
as was against you, now am strong
for you." She told the committe that
she replied to Mr.. Mclean: II am go
ing to try you out, am coming to you
for big check for our house Of deten-
tion." She says he replied: II will
give it to you" but that she had never
seen him again from that day to this
The committee passed on to consid-
Grafton of salary increases. In re-
ply to questions from Representative
Wheeler of Illinois Maj. Pullman said
that the salary Of guards in the house
of detention is now $500; that they
are so small as to be disgraceful. and
that the men cannot live on these,
but are merely staying on in the hope
Of getting an increase. Chairman
Gould asked what advance was asked
for and Maj. Pullman said from $3.50
to $1,0S0, Commissioner Brownlow in

EDITORIAL SUGGESTS
SEPARATE. POLICE UNION
John B. Colpoys Would Call Meet
ing Of Men From Thirty
Seven Locals

In an editorial in the current issue
Of the Trades Unionist Of this city,
the official organ Of the Central Labor
Union. John &. Colpoys. owner and
editor. offers the suggestion that the
American Federation of Labor call q
convention Of delegates from the
thirty-seven policemen's unions all
over the country affiliated with the
American Federation Labor to meet
in Washington to consider q PROPOSE
tfon. which he makes. that the police
men form a national policemen's
union in no way connected with the
American Federation Of Labor or the
central labor unions of their cities
as a solution Of the perp1eIing Ques-
tion raised by the District Commis-
sioners, who have refused to permit
the Washington policemen's union to
be affiliated with the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. The matter has,
however. not been referred to the
American Federation of Labor Of
f1cials.
Local labor leaders believe that
such a step would be the means of
settling the question and at the same
time bring all of the policemen's
unions in close contact. that they
might work for the mutual interest
of each of the unions in the various
cities.

that 1t is not fair to ask them to do
SO. He pointed out to the committee
that there has been a general increase

He said he had published nothing
about the case in his paper, because
Mrs. Van Winckle had told him 1t
would be the death of the woman's
bureau, and Maj. Pullman had asked
him not to publish 1t.
It was made clear that Mr.. McLean's
interest was aroused in the young
woman by his wife before the wom--
ans bureau had become interested
in the case. and that it was his wife
who sent the young woman to the
hospital.

LIBERIA"

Liberia"
There is no excuse for such
Misrepresentation. Great Brit
ain is not going to have six
votes to our one in the League
council and Liberia is not go
ing to be represented on the
council at all.
Article four of the League
covenant specifies that the
council shall consist of repre-
sentatives from the principal
allied powers and together
with representatives from four
other members of the league.
As is well known the "princi-
pal" nations are the big five,
the United States, Britain,
France. Italy and Japan. The
other four members are not yet
permanently selected but Lii
IBERIA will not be one of the
chosen:
The League covenant also
specifies that in the council
each member shall have but
one vote. Therefore all the
powers will be on parity.
Practically all executive rower
in connection with administer
ing the League is lodged in the
council.
Ir the assembly, which has
wider representation bit
less authority than the council,
self governing dominions and
colonies may be admitted. 1t
is tn, refore to be presumed
that Canada and Australia at
least Will have membership.
Perhaps South Africa and New
Zealand also. But having t;l-
ken q brave part in saving TIE
world from German rule

Aquarius. (The Water Bcaver)

With the exception of the Arabians,
who are forbidden by law to draw the
human figure, all countries have ad-
opted the form of a man pouring wa
ter from an urn, for this consteila-
ton in the Zodiac. The Arabians on
the contrary. represent it by dom
key with two water barrels on his
back. The Egyptians have a legend
that the annual overflow of the Nile
was originally caused by the water
Beaver 'immersing his huge urn IN
the river for the purpose of refillihg
it at the same period each year
According to Brown the HEIR CIV,
e diac represented Aquarius as the
tribe of Reuben, whom they regard
ell as ''unstable as water"
The Greeks have a legend that
Aquarius represents Ganymede, the
son of Tros the King of Troy, most
beautiful youth whom Jupiter Kid
mapped while tending his fathers S
flock on Mt Ida, and took up to
Heaven to become the cup-bearer of
the Gods in the place of Hebe.
The early Christians are said to
have Iikened this constellation to
John the Baptist. This seems quite
appropriate.

basis in the league council with

There is nothing to this cry
about six British votes to one
for America" A simple read
ing of tho covenant will reas-
sule you on that point. 1t is an
appeal to anti-British preju-
dice and like many other
points raised by objectors loses
its Importance as soon as fully
investigated.
