TAMMANY MAY
LEAD WET MOVE
AT SAN FRANCISCO
Murphy Center of Speculation at Big
Democratic Convention Where Wet
and Dry Fight Looms.

San Francisco, June "a. 49, Prelim-
inaries to the Democratic National
convention got into the inevitable pc
riod of hurry and scramble today with
the appearance of one after another of
the men who are to play leading parts
in the big quadrennial drama.
In the whisperings behind the
scenes the question of the party's pol
icy toward bone dry prohibition con-
tinued the big theme og agitation,
with prospects for a fight on the con-
vention floor growing better and bet
ter.
Arriving leaders and delegates also
added some impetus TO the discussion
of Presidential candidates, but that
subject still remained well in the
background.
Two figures newly arrived on the
scene attracted particular attention.
One was Senator Carter Glass, Virgin
ia, fresh from Washington and gener-
ally reported to have brought Presi-
dent Wilson's own draft of the plat
form. The other was Charles F. Muir
ply. of New York, the leader of Tam
many Hall, who came direct from the
widely-heralded conference of old-line
party strategists at French Lick, Ind.
Both of them were as busy as beay-
ers. but as silent and cagey as mice.
Privately they took careful stock of
the situation and conferred earnestly
with other leaders from far and wide.
Publicly they refused to talk politics,
outline what they hoped to accomplish
or predict what the convention finally
would bring forth.
Mr. Murphy was the new center OF
speculation on the subject of prohibit
/ ton. The declaration fthe New York
! state convention for repeal of the
/ Eighteenth amendment and widely cir
+ culated, reports of the patching of an
anti-bone dry plan at French Lick
/ helped to bolster the impression
among many delegates that Tammany
would lead in the effort to write such
a plank into the platform.
Not only the Tammy chief, but all
OF his lieutenants, refused steadfastly
to discuss that subject or to say
whether any anti-prohibition move
ment really had been launched at the
French Lick conference.
Thomas Taggart. of Indiana. another
principal in the conference. was ex-
pected to arrive here late today or
early Friday.

Italy may well be proud of the SOL
diers who issued from the bronze
gates of the Vatican in her defense,
at a moment where her very life as
a nation hung in the balance, and
when the anti-clerical press described
the pope as a pro-German and all
Catholics as traitors. For they have
given good account Of themselves
in the war. Many of them, the 1ineal
descendants of those brave gentlemen
who saved Christianity from the Turk
at the battle of Lepanto, under Prince
Marcartonio Colonna, are at rest on
the hard fought Carso, or ON the

For Petition and
P1under of Ireland

In an open letter the Right Rev.
Charles McHugh, the Catholic Bishop
Of Derry, reveals Che revolving char.
acter of Lloyd Georges Home Rule
Bill. His analysis of 1t is a master.
piece, which should be read and re-
read by all who would familiarize
themselves with the sort of "self-de.
termination" offered to Ireland.
Some time ago I took the liberty of
communicating to the press my views
on the exposition which Mr.. Lloyd
George gave in the House of Com.
mons on December % last of his
scheme for the partition of Ireland
The scheme was then in embryo, but
1t has since developed into its full
blown denationalizing form under the
fostering care of the British Cabinet
and the domineering patronage of Sir
Edward Carson.
1t is styled "A Bill for the Better
Government of Ireland" After perus-
ing this precious document and trying
as best could to get grasp of its
contents, have come to the conclu-
sion that it should rather be called "a
Bill for the Permanent Partition and
Plunder of Ireland, and the Enslave-
ment of Her People in the Interest Of
Great Britain"
It may be that not a few of our
people will look with misgiving on
my action in recognizing the existence
of these Lloyd Georgian proposals, in
asmuch as they regard them as an in
suit to Ireland and an official denial
of her rights as a nation. In them
they see the deep laid design of the
spoiler for plundering our resources,
cramping our energies and depriving
US of that liberty of action and free
dom of trade and commerce on which
nations progress SO largely de-
pends. The accuracy of this view can.
not be called in question. It seems
to be a fair estimate Of the situation
that would be created we're the pro.
posed bill ever to become law.

What Protestant SeCtS
Hope to Accomplish

349 of this total is to be available at
once.
Contributions to this titanic fund
are expected from the 14,939,413 mem.
bers of the sects cooperating in the
campaign, and from the 5S,366,241
Americans who (according to Protes.
tant enumerations) are identified with
no church or religious organization
It will be seen, therefore, that the
captains Of the movement depend for
the success of their "drive" upon the
money and efforts of an aggregate fol.
lowing that is approximately 5000, 900
less than the Catholic population OF
the continental United States.
The general purpose of the Inter
church Movement are these:
Support of home missions.
Promotion of foreign missions.
Maintenance of hospitals, homes and
schools in the United States.
Increase in the salaries of regular
ministers and missionaries.

Washington, D. c., April 15.-Out
Of the welter of European politics
come reports, many Of them unofficial,
some official, emphasizing the impor.
tant part Catholic tradition and Cath
olic belief is playing in the task Of
reconstruction and re-establishment of
social order.
There are rumors of rapproacnc-
ment between the Italian conserva-
tion party and the so-called Catholic
party for the support Of the govern
ment in opposition to the radical po-
litical elements. There is another
rumor that the Catholic parties in
all European countries are consider
ing the establishment of more or
less cohesive organization to combat
the spread of radicalism and bolshe-
vism. There is still another report
that union of Bavaria and Austria,
both of which are Catholic in faith,
is contemplated.
Many of these rumors have reached
Washington through official sources,
indicating that foreign chancelleries
are giving more consideration than
they have given for many years prior
to the outbreak OF the great war, to
the enormous influence of Catholicism
upon European political and social
conditions. The proposal now under
consideration by the French govern
ment to re-establish formal relations
with the Vatican points the way Eu-
ropean opinion is drifting.

book now to speak Of the wonderful
events, and as you are interested In
knowing. and I suppose also you will
make known the details to your Cath
olic papers, am sending you book
on the subject, written in Spanish,
which it will be easy for you to trans
late. It really merits the thorough
reading of it. Meanwhile I will an.
swer your several questions, giving
you an idea of what is passing here.
The first observations we're made
by about thirty people on March 30 of
last year, after the general Commun-
ion given at the closing of the mis-
sion given by the Franciscan Friars of
Montehano. Nothing was observed
the following days, until the 11th of
April, when three persons, two of
whom cried against the truth of the
miracle, were surprised by seeing the
movement of the eyes of the Sculp.
ture Of the Crucified. Again for a few
days the phenomena ceased, and were
observed once more, the Goth Of April,
In the afternoon. Since that day till
now it can be said that very few days
have passed without observing the
wonderful apparitions. Since the said
30th of March to this date, about one
hundred and thirty thousand or more
pilgrims have passed by this church,
and conservative average would
give more than ten thousand persons
of all classes of society that have seen
the miraculous phenomena. There are
