 der the revised motor vehicle law they
 are classified as trucks and, being avail
 able for hire, must be registered as pub- lie service motor vehicles. Motor Ve- hicle Commissioner Stoeckel, following a conference with Attorhey General Hea- ly notified the state undertakers' asso- citation that he was powerless to change | this classification and suggested that an
 amendment be proposed in the next ses- sion of the legislature if change was desired.
 Representatives of the undertakers' | association held conference with Com missioner Stoeckel several days ago, al
 which they stated their objections to ex' hibiting a plate showing the lightweight of hearse bearing 2 corpse in a funera and also paying as large fees for hearses
 as are required for trucks, which, they pointed out, subjected the roads to con siderably more wear. They also asked

CARDINAL Anglers IRISH
CATHOLICS IN ENGLAND
Claim Archbishop Bourne's Letter
Will Not Aid England at
Vatican,

LONDON, February f16.-Great in
dignation was caused among Irish
Catholics in England by the pastoral
letter written by Cardinal Bourne,
Archbishop Of Westminster. which was
read in English churches under his
Jurisdiction last Sunday, said state
ment issued here today by Art
|O'Brfen. secretary Of the Irish Self
Dissemination League.
Cardinal Bourne's letter warned peo-
pie OF his archdiocese not to allow
themselves to become implicated "by
active sympathy or even actual CO.
operation in societies and organize
tions which are in opposition to the
laws OF God and the Catholic Church" ]"
In the course Of the letter the cardi-
nal referred to the horror and out
rage" in Ireland.
"His eminence." the statement de-
|clared. may rest assured the only
impression left upon the Irish laity as
well as the Irish clergy in his arch
diocese by such letters is one of dis
gust at his narrow and unchristian
attitude.
Cardinal Bourne may hope" the
statement cpntinued. that his parti-
san political lecture will help the
activities Of his government at the
Vatican, which during the past year
have been very vigorous, and which,
lit was hoped recently. would produces
fruit in papal condemnation Of the re-
publican movement in Ireland. II his
eminence has any hopes In this direc-
tion, it would be well for him and
leading English Catholics who are
sharing his hopes to understand that
not even the most devoted Catholic in
ireland or among the Irish throughout
the world will accept political guild
ance or dictation from Rome"
