The Rev. William Lyons, pastor of
st. Johns Church, whose assistant Fa-
Their Fletcher was to have been on his

declarations yesterday that Father
Fletcher was being detained in Ire
land against his will and because of
his activities in favor of Ireland and
particularly because of his grafton at
the meeting in May, 1916, held to rat
ify the stand of the Irish Republic.
Archbishop Hanna does not attach
great Importance to the, passport de-
lay, and believes that the situation
will be adjusted shortly. He said yes
terday:
II am taking no action in the mat
ter because passport delays are COM
mon these days. I believe Father
Fletcher is merely the victim Of mis-.
take in passports or the delay is due
to paper errors. If the English want

not be at liberty in Ireland"

The Rev. Francis Fletcher, former

The failure OF the American Consul
at Dublin to issue passports to the
Rev. Father Francis Fletcher, widely
known Catholic priest of California

caused local Irish societies to seek
the aid of President Wilson, Senators

Fletcher granted permission to return
to the United States.

Death Of John
0'connor Power
One Time Noted Irish Parliamentarian
Passes Away.

The death took place at his resi-
dence, Putney, London, of Mr.. John
O'Connor Power. He was M. P. for
Mayo from 1S74-S5,> and was one Of
the ablest Parliamentary orators of
the time.
He was supporter of Parnell and
Bigger in the trying times of the Earl
Land League days, and helped them
in their great obstruction movement
in the House of Commons.
He was the Chief Speaker at the
great meeting of April 20, 1879, at
1rishtown, when the Land League was
founded. He was one of the Irish
Party suspended on the occasion of
the great scene in the House of Com
mons, in February, 1881, arising out
of the arrest Of Mr.. Michael Davitt,
until then on tickets of leave.
His relation with Parnell and the
party became strained, and he
ceased to represent Mayo in 1885.
Since then he has lived in England,
but he took a great interest in the
financial relations question. He was a
son of Patrick Power, of Ballinasloe
He was called to the Bar of the Middle
Temple in 1881.
Belonging to Mayo family, he was
born in Roscommon in 1886 and is be
lieved, to have been one of the CHIEF
organizers of the abortive Fenian .raid
on the Chester Castle in 81. AS q

One of the problems in reconstruc.

question of enabling soldiers incapaci.
tated by wounds from following their
regular trade or occupation, to fit
themselves to be self-supporting.
To cope with this situation the

tary hospital at Mineola, Long Island,
where men in wheel chairs and those
requiring clutches could easily attend
There they would be taught trades or
occupations easy to learn and ensur-
ing fair remuneration in wages after
they became proficient.
1t is planned to manufacture such
articles as could be easily disposed
of to merchants, selling them at a
profit, enabling the school or class to
be self-supporting. Repair work will
also be a factor.
One feature in this plan, which will
appeal strongly to our wounded so!
diers. is that it does not SAVIOR of char
ity-the men would give value for
what they received. 1t is thought
there would be no difficulty in dispos-
ing to merchants all the articles manu-
featured. and many big department
stores might find it to their advantage
to have certain repairing attended to
at this proposed knights of Columbus
workshop.
The Mineola Base Hospital, near
which it is planned to conduct this
X. of c. undertaking, has accommoda.
.tions for three thousand beds, but at
present only five hundred are occu-
pied. Many of the men being cared
for there may have to remain during
many months, and it is for their espe-
cial benefit that the knights propose
their workshop. A hospital patient,
not confined to bed, would welcome an
opportunity of earning little money
and at the same time occupy his mind
with the work in hand.
Even though he didn't learn trade,
he would perhaps acquire knowledge
