Huge pewter fagons of beer stood

RUTHENIANS SEEK AID
OF U. S. CATHOLIC CHURCH

AS unbiased observers. Americans
again have been called upon to help
obtain justice for q group of people in
Europe who consider themselves op-
pressed. This time 1t is Ruthenians
against Poles.
The hierarchy Of the Roman Cath
Ollie Church in America has been pc
titioned by the Ruthenian Catholic
diocese in the United States to inter-
cede with the Pope against the
throttling of Ukrainian Catholics in
eastern Galicia by the Polish military
authorities.
In their memorial, submitted to the
hierarchy in session at the Catholic
University here. the Ruthenians pro-
test emphatically against the intern
ment of the Ruthenian primate, Arch
bishop Szeptycky; the imprisonment
of 200 Ukrainian priests in the Lem
berg Jail and more than 800 else
where in Galicia, and the closing Of

Princes Visit to the Capitol.

It was Saturday afternoon when
Prince Albert made his first visit to
the Capitol, going there with Vice
President Hobart. and later he visited
the Congressional Library and other
points. On Sunday he went to st.
Matthews Church with the Belgian
minister
During the visit Of the prince there
were constant rumors Of his engage
ment to Princess Clementine of Or
leans, but that fact made him not
less attractive to mothers with eligi-
BILE daughters. and everywhere the
most ycharming young women were
introduced to him. However. catch
ing his fancy far more was the craze
for bicycle riding which was then in
vogue, and many times during his Wis
it he INDUCED in the sport.
The serious illness of Princess
Stephanie darkened the first days of
the princes visit here. but as she
grew better he became brighter and
more interested. -
And now the king comes to renew
his acquaintance with the American
people, and interest in the crown

All the delights of a second visit to
a once explored region await King
Albert of Belgium on his arrival here,
and, added to this, will be the pleas
ure Of relating to his Wonderful
queen and their children-the Crown
Prince Leopold. Duke Of Brabant;
Prince Charles Theodore. Count of
Flanders. and Princess Marie Jose

Albert and travelling under the cog
nomen of Count de Rethey- he Wis
tied Washington and made q tour of
the United States. in 1898.
Besides being the third sovereign to
visit this country. the King Of the
Belgians is the first ever to have
made q second visit. his first trip
his uncle, Leopold II, who at that
time had no greater object in view
than broadening the education of his
nephew, between whom and the
throne were at least three persons:
The crown prince, his cousin: the
PRINCE PHILIPPE, Count Of Flanders,
his father. and Prince Baudoin, his
brother. However. it seemed destined
that Albert should lead the Belgians
through their bloody warfare, for
each of these in turn died, and King
Leopold himself was called from the
throne by death in 1909, leaving his
nephew to become one of the best be-
loved kings the world has ever
known.
None Of the glamour of king, or
even a near king, attended Albert
upon his former visit, and while Gen.
Merritt, representing President Nc
Kinley, met him in New York, his
services were promptly dispensed
with, and after leaving Washington.
and all during his visit, his most con-
slant and valued companions were
newspaper men, to whom he looked
as the best possible guides in a sight

Almost Like a Fairy Story.

It seems almost like q fairy story,
this second visit of King Albert, and
those OF Washington society who are
recalling their meeting with the
alert young man more than twenty
years ago, reckon frankly that even
then one might have foretold what
sort Of king he would be. and that.
better than any other man, he would
stand shoulder to shoulder with his
of fire, and can picture his oft-re-
peated words: MY place Is on the
firing line. Ny person is no more
valuable than yours" as he encour-
aged and led his men.
It was o'clock in the afternoon of
March 10. 1898. that Prince Albert
landed at the old Union station. at
6th and G streets, and was whisked
away in President McKinley's car
riage to the Hotel Arlington, upon
the site of which now stands the
war risk building. He was accom-
minister from Belgium; Lieut.. g. T.
Langhorne, military attache OF the
American legation at BrusSeis. who.
through the courtesy Of the Secretary
of War, was specially designated to
accompany the prince to this coun-
sician: Lieut.. Col Junkbluth of the
Belgian army, aid-de-camp, and two

In the princes suite and the servants
were sorely perplexed until they were
again brought face to face with their
royal master. The suite occupied by
the visitor was at the corner Of YER
mont avenue and n street, the win
dows overlooking the Cosmos Club
and lafayette Square. The rooms
were beautifully furnished. the bou-
doir having blue and gold hangings
and rich oriental rugs. Senator Platt
had previously occupied part of the
suite: ~ Dom Pedro. Emperor Of Brazil,
had been lodged there. as had also the
King of the Hawaiian Islands.

streets, and the ofiices Of the embassy,
with Mr. Tonner in charge, were at

moved. Count Lichtervelde was a IA
vorite socially and automatically.
and the first night Of Prince Albert's
arrival he was entertained at the
Metropolitan Club for dinner, where
he met q number of men of affairs
and those prominent in society. When
he dined in the hotel. though q large
corps Of servants had been assigned
to his service, Prince Albert refused
them all and sat in the public dining
room with the gentlemen of his suite.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL
CONVENTION

One of the big questions of the day
is as to when the Illinois constitu.
tional convention shall be called,
where it shall be held, and how the
102 delegates who will sit in it are to
be chosen are among the most impor-
tant questions that will come before
the new Illinois legislature that as
sembles in Springfield Wednesday,
Jan. s.
II is conceded that the proposition
to call the convention was ratified on
Nov. 5 by majority of the total vote
cast of at least $4,000. There seems
to be no doubt but the new general
assembly, following its constitutional
duty, will pass the enabling act that
fixes the date and place for the assem-
bling of the convention, prescribes the
method of electing the 1O2 delegates,
fixes their compensation, and makes
appropriation for the expenses of the
convention.
Already there are symptoms that
there is to be hard fight over this
bill.
The constitution OF 1870 provides
that two delegates shall be elected
from each senatorial district as they
now exist.
Here is where the first argument
seems to have arisen. Close con-
struction of this section, II is claimed
in some quarters, prevents the non.
partisan election of convention dele.
gates, and requires that delegates
shall be nominated in party primaries.
Politically, as the districts now
stand, there are nineteen districts in
Cook county, six of which are clearly
Democratic and thirteen undoubtedly
Republican. Downstate there are only
four districts out of thirty.two that
are Democratic, with twenty.eight Re.
publican.
This would seem to indicate that II
is the Republicans who object to the
non.partisan system of electing dele
gates. The objection, however, comes
from Democratic quarters, chiefly
from Democrats who will be in the
next legislature. who are lined up at
all points against woman suffrage and
who fought the constitutional conven.
ton proposal at all stages Of its legis.
lative progress.

BUSBY FOR
b BET1ERMENT

Willingness to cooperate in any
movement that will better the trans
portation system of Chicago was ex-
pressed by Leonard A. Busby, presi.
dent of the Chicago Surface Lines, in
a statement to the city council COM
mittee on local transportation. The
aldermen were considering Mayor
Thompson's recommendation that for.
fixture proceedings be brought be.
cause of alleged failure of the surface
line companies to comply with the
terms of the 1907 ordinances. The
mayors contentious we're riddled by
Walter l.. Fisher, traction counsel for
the city, and Mr.. Busby.
! Tho service is now the best which
1t is practical to maintain under exist
ing physical conditions, and separate
ownership and operation of the sur
face and elevated lines" said Mr.
Busby.
THE reason we cannot get better
service during the rush hours and
carry more people with greater speed
and comfort is that IL is physically i'm.
possible 10 operate more cars uurlng
the rush hours in or through the con-
gested down town district. These con-
ditions in the down town district i'm.
pose limitations on the service out
side this district, for the reason that
the main trunk lines from the outlying
sections of the city nearly all run into
or through this congested territory. =
THE congestion in the territory
from Chicago avenue to 22d street,
and from Halsted street to the lake
is increasing every year, and traffic
conditions are growing worse.
THE. only solution practicable is the
unification of the surface and elevated
lines, and the construction of subways
through the congested territory. We
cannot stop where we are. A solution
Of the problem must be found.
II wish to make 1t plain that the
surface line companies will cooperate
with the city in any plan which will
furnish better conditions
