GLOUCESTER, Mass, Aug. 25.-All
paths and roadways, as far as loyal
Universalists are concerned, are leading
today to Gloucester. From all parts of
the United States and Canada and
from Europe pilgrims of the denomina-
tion are gathering here to join in the
commemoration of the l50th ami
versary of the foundation of Universal
ism in America. The celebration,
which will begin tomorrow and cont
tinue through the remainder of the
week, will center around the Old Uni
versalist church in this city, built in
1906 as the successor of the meeting
house which was the mother church of
the denomination in the New World.
Between $4,000 and 10000 guests are
expected here for the celebration For
months the committees of the church
have been at work on the program,
which is now complete in every detail.
1t provides for the presentation of Uni
versalist history by means of pageant,
addresses, sermons and visitations of
historic shrines. The mornings viii be
devoted to addresses, the afternoons to
recreation, and the evenings to the pag-
cant, lectures, and social events. Every
day win be opened with sunrise serv-
ice and the day will close with camp
fire services.
The Universalist church in America
ascribes its historic origin, as an organ
lied body of Christians, to the apostle
ship of Rev. John Murray, who came
from England in 1770 For few
years he journeyed from place to place
and preached the gospel of the larger
faith wherever he found an open door.
The First Universalist church in Amer
lea was organized by him in Glouces-
ter Here John Murray found his abid-
ing place and here he resided as pastor
for nearly 20 years.
The circumstances of his coming to
Cape Ann were remarkable. A group
of Christians of whom Winthrop Sar-
GEM WIS int IcouCIs was pbSCh
in favor of the new doctrine and was
waiting to hear it taught and pro-
claimed. As early as 1859 a sailor had
brought from England copy of a book
called Union, written by Rev. James
Kelly, setting forth the doctrine of the
final restitution of all things through
Christ. This book was passed from
member to member of the First Parish
church of that period and its arguments
and explanations of the Scriptures
proved so convincing that soon re
spectacle number of earnest souls be-
gan to meet in conferences and to ex-
change their satisfaction in the light
thus gained. When John Murray ar
rived in Boston and was publicly OPP
posed by certain preachers of that city,
as being a follower of Rev. James
Kelley, the Gloucester circle of friends
made haste to send as a messenger Win

GIBBONS ASKS THAT
GIFTS Be DOUBLED

"The years OF my earthly life are
drawing to a close. and In the way OF
nature must ere long appear before
nv judge. I could have no greater
ha appiness in these remaining years
than to know that the Catholic UNI
versity of America was placed on
solid basis for the present. in Keeping
with its admitted needs, with Its en-
couraging growth and progress and
with the educational interest in our
Catholic people"
In these words, Cardinal GIBBONS,
who is chancellor of the Catholic Uni
versity, has sent out an appeal to the
Catholic CLERGY and the Catholics OF
the country, to be liberal in the con-
tribution which is annually collected
in the Catholic churches of the United
States for the upkeep and progress OF
the Catholic University at Brookland,
d. c.
Cardinal Gibbons asked that the
collection. which is taken up on the
first Sunday in Advent, be double that
of last year, so that the university
may be placed on a satisfactory basis
for the present. Many of the gifts
of money which have been given by
individuals, he says. are for specific
purposes, such as the founding or
maintaining of special chairs, and
cannot be used for general purposes.

DEEREUX HELD
0NU. s. WARRANT

Frank B. Devereux. former head
bookkeeper OF the National Savings
and Trust Company, was arr ested this
morning on q warrant charging him
with embezzlement. He wpS released
under $4,000 bond to AVA the action
of the grand jury, sfte' waving =
hearing in the Police c. 1rt.
The warrant was issued by the Dis-
trict Attorneys office under orders
from the Department OF Justice. The
Department of Justice was infCrmed
OF the Irregularities in the books Of
Devereux by John Shelton Williams,
comptroller of the currency. The bank
had refused to prosecute him.
The specific charge lodged against
Devereux was the embexzIing OF
81, 900. and 1t was stated in the war
rant that the speculations had been
going on for several months. Bond
was furnished by q frind OF Dew
ereux's.
Officials of the bank reported last
week that the shortage of Devereux
would reach about $11 900. which was
covered by the bonding company.
Dsvereux was held In such high es-
TEEN in banking circles that 1t was
believed that after he had made good
the shortage he would not be prose-
cuted, but Comptroller Williams in
terferred with the plans and had the
Devereux cPse brought to the atten-
tion Of the Department OF Justice.

Newspapers took a much more op-
timistic view of the coal strike situs-
ton than they did yesterday. The
DAILY Express believes that the strike
will be confined TO the miners, and
will not spread. The Daily Express
said:
''The railway men and transport
workers will not strike unless the
miners request 1t. There is less in
dication today that this is likely to
happen"
"One OF the chief leaders OF the
miners expresses the conviction that
the finish of the strike will sbe in

the Daily News. There Is good rea-
son to believe that the government
and miners will again be in confer

hope of discovering a basis of settle

removes the fear OF attack and en-
abies British statesmen to ridI them
selves Of a very troublesome problem
by freeing Ireland.
Let me remind you OF this very
significant thing" the governor said.
Many statesmen have contender
throughout the years that Ireland
would, In all probability, have been
given her freedom long ago except
that England. as some statesmen said,
could not afford to establish a gov
ernmental entity so near her own
gateway. But under the League OF
Nations England would have no fear
whatever, because the soil of England
and the soil of every other country
will be protected under Article X OF
the League of Nations."

said. Foreigners seeing this. would
draw down their balances In the
United States and sell dollars short
before the Government could make
the change. The plan would also
make difficult. IL not impossible, the
maintenance of gold redemption In
periods OF rapidly rising prices OF

Had Prof. Fishers plan been In
operation at the outbreak of the great
war. in 1914, IL would have broken
down, as Prof. Fisher now admits.
II could not have prevented the war
time rise In prices, and consequently
most of the claims Fisher has made
must now be abandoned.
"Prof. Fishers plan retains the
element of gold redemption. even
though in a varying amount or gold.
But there are many proposals which
involve the abandonment OF gold alto
gether. and the creation of fiat money.

fession should set itself firmly against
agitation of any schemes OF this sort.
"The next ten years will see q pro-
longed contest between the defenders
OF sound money and the advocates OF
unsound plans. especially In Europe.
1t is our view that the banking pro-
fession OF the United States should
concern itself with the maintenance

toration In Europe. of the old.fash-
toned gold standard, rathcr than with
any effort to introduce refinements

when credits are expanded to the
extent they now are, and as long as
can be bought and paid

selves, but by credit instruments for
which the gold certificates are mere
