necking up in the air for about four
hours without seeing anything the
crowd started in to look for brother
Mauren, a rope and tree. They
found rope and the tree and finally
found Mauren, who promised, if given

ed to NY over Portland. Some of the

countless are at their wits ends in an
endeavor to agree upon worthy one.

stantial. monument that no one will
tire of looking upon and pointing at
with pride and satisfaction of loyalty

made by one of our citizens alcng this
line as to the ki-d and it's location
might be well for the committee who
ever 1t may be to consider carefully.
He proposes a massive triumphal arch

CATHOLIC MAJORITY
ANTI-RUM, HE SAYS
w. II. Anderson Tells Preach
ers of Erroneous Impression.

In an address yesterday before the
Methodist preachers meeting william
H. Anderson, State superintendent OF the
Anti-saloon League Of New York, de-
clared that President Wilson's statement
in Paris relative to prohibition did not
reflect the convictions Of American Cath
olics any moro than 1t did tho convic-
lions of American Professionals. He de-
clared that 1t ia unfortunate that the
personnel Of the Presidents closest ad-
visers is 90 constituted that It Is possible
for tho brewers to get into direct touch
with him, while there Is nobody equally
close to interpret fairly the prohibition
sentiment Of the nation.
Mr.. ANDERSON declared that there Is
certain "pro-brewery and reactionary
element in the Catholic Church which is
violently anti-prohibition. and II is this
element that has been able to reach the
President with the impression that the
Catholic Church as such II opposed to
prohibition. when the truth Is that
large proportion of the membership oil
the Catholic Church IL Just as strong for
prohibition as the majority of the mem
bers of Protestant churches"
He emphasized strongly also that the
Anti-Saloon League is not anti-Catholic
and that the league believes nobody will
be quicker to repudiate 'the scheme
which now seems to be on foot than the
host Of right thinking, patriotic. Ameri-
can minded, sincere. God fearing. mar
loving members of the Catholic Church
to whom Catholicism Is a sacred faith
and n precious spiritual thing, and moi
something commercial to be politically
capitalized"

WOMAN FRUsTRATES THEFT.
Sees Two Men Drive on and Has
Them Arrested.

Two young men who described them
selves as Vincent Fralino. So Sullivan
street. and August Mulroy, b2s East
147th street, ascribed the plight they
found themselves in yesterday to the
naturally suspicious nature OF woman
kind and particularly of Miss Eleanor
Feinall. 12l West 121st street.
Miss Feinall was motoring past 413
Broadway yesterday afternoon when she
saw Fralino and Mulroy climb into an
automobile which was standing at the
curb. From their furtive manner and
apparent unfamilarity with the motor
she believed the car was not theirs and
she followed it, picking up Patrolman
Lackerman of the Mercer street station
on her way down Broadway.
At Canal and Greene streets the men
we're overtaken and arrested. The po-
lice say the automobile belonged 10

turer, and that he had left It outside
