man. His knowledge of music was as
extensive as that of any professor of
the art. He was an expert photog-
rapher and was skilled in stenogra-
ply. His knowledge Of law was equal
to that of the most distinguished jul
rists. One of the most complicated
statutes ever passed by the British
Parliament was the Irish Land Act,
1881. When the bill was introduced
there were only four persons in Great
Britain and Ireland who understood
it's provisions. DIR. Walsh was one of
Catholic lawyer, T. M. Healy, was the
second of the quartette.
A code telegram that baffled all the
experts of the Parnell Commission,
was deciphered by the Archbishop.
This telegram with other evidence
which His Grace was able to give,
helped finally to expose the Pigott for
geries. 1t was the Archbishop who
suggested the method by which the
Pigott signature of Parnell could be
proved to be a forgery.
Several attempts were made recent
ly to induce His Grace to negotiate
with the British government concern
ing the affairs of Ireland. He refused
to enter into any discussion unless the
agent of the government produced his
written credentials under cabinet au-
thority and unless the business to be
discussed was previously submitted to
him in writing.

ORIENTAL PRELATES HERE

ropolitans are subordinate to Rome,
and both had to receive permission
from the Pope to visit this country.
Archbishop Saigh said that condi-
tions in Syria had improved consider
ably within the past year.
The Archbishop said he had heard
that the American relief commissions
in Syria, had Disseminated against
the Catholics of that section in the
distribution of money and supplies.
What he knew at first hand was that
after he had sold all of the property
that could be disposed of from his
monastery, he had applied to an Amer
lean commission for funds and had
been refused, no explanation, being
given Then he had applied to the
French and had obtained help.
He explained that Syrian Catholics
have, become so used to relying upon
French protection and aid in times of
stress, that they expect nothing from
other sources. The Syrians in this
country, however, were angry because
they felt that having contributed to
the war relief funds in the great
drives, they had right to expect that
their people at home should have been
! given at least as much consideration
as the Moslems.
But now said the Archbishop, Gin
dustry is reviving and the people will
very soon be prosperous, and being
prosperous, will be happy
When asked if the papal effort to
unity the Oriental churches was max
ing any progress, the Archbishop said
that it was. Now our clergy officiate
in the Latin Churches and the Latin
clergymen in our churches. There is
no distinction whatever, now. This
is the first time in the history of the
Church that this has been So

ADMINISTRATOR FOR DIOCESE OF.
ST. JOSEPH-BiSHOP BURKE RE-
QUESTED SUCH AN APPOINT
MENT BECAUSE OF ILL HEALTH.

The announcement has been made
that Rev. James P. Brady, pastor of
st. Mary's Church, st. Joseph, Mo-,
has been made administrator of the
Diocese of St. Joseph. Speaking of
the appointment, Father Brady said:
Some weeks ago, Bishop Burke
had a personal interview with the
Apostolic Delegate, Archbishop Bon
zano, in Washington, and requested
that such an appointment be made
owing to the continued i'll condition of
his (the Bishop's) health. The del
egate made these representations to
the sacred Congregation of the Con-
sistory in Rome, of which the Pope is
the prefect, and as a result Bishop
Burke's request for my appointment
was granted
Vicar General.
Father Brady was ordained at Con-
ception Monastery in 1897 by Bishop
Burke. He served seven years at the
Cathedral, first as assistant and then
as rector He took charge of ST.
Mary's in 1904, where several years

The great state of Maryland was
founded by English Catholics (1634
flying from persecution. The colon
lists were most pious clients of Mary
Immaculate; saved from shipwreck by
her intercession, they named after her
the bay and river and town of their
original settlement, gave the name of
Mary to the first female Indian con-
verts, built chapel in honor of the
Immaculate Conception, and gave the
glorious name of Mary to the embryo
state which has ever since retained it.
Similarly Spanish missionaries had
brought her dear name at an earlier
date into the vast regions of Texas
and California, where rivers and
mountains are yet honored by il, and
where the names of many towns give
evidence of the devotion to Mary
which burned in the hearts of the
early Franciscan and Dominican mis-
sionaries.
Nature Joins in Acclaim.
In a word, insofar as the territory of
the United States and Canada was
originally discovered and settled by
Catholics, their devotion to Our Bless
ed Mother, and in particular to Mary
immaculate, is vouched for by every
page Of our history and confirmed by
all the features of nature. In more
recent times the intimate appeal of
the Mother of God to our American
Catholic hearts asserts itself in new
and striking ways. If we fix at about
seventeen thousand the number of
Catholic Churches, missionary chap

will invade eighteen cities which can
appreciate big time acts. The eight
cen already are on the Keith circuit.
There is in the prospective fight. a
possibility of price cutting. In some
places it may mean erection of new
theater buildings.
Rumors on Broadway today were
that the ShubertS will be reinforced
by theatrical magnates who heretofore
have catered to another class of thea
ter-goers, placing their equipment at
the disposal of the invaders.

meet the invading forces. no sign was

tion of Military Appointment.
May Know Why General Mar
tin Was Turned Down.

Washington Jan. 25.-Information
concerning the appointment of chief
of the militia bureau was sought today
in a resolution introduced in the sem
ate by Senator Capper. Kansas
General Charles Martin of Kansas
was a candidate for the place but was
not appointed, altho recommended by
many other state national guard
heads.
Capper today asked how many petit
tions were received in connection with
the appointment. from whom the petit
tions came and in whose favor they
were drawn.
The resolution Senator Capper in
troduced today is taken here as mean
ing the Kansas delegation in the ma
tional congress is going to make 4
fight to block confirmation of Presi-
svlvania man and is going to seek to
make public all the facts connected
with the turn down" of Gen. Charles
l. Martin. In this they will be as
sured whatever backing Governor
Henry ]. Allen and the state admins
tration can give them.
When it was announced that Presi-
ment several weeks ago. Governor
Allen gave out a statement in which
he asserted General Martin had been
recommended by the governors of
! two-thirds of the states making rec
concentrations and that he could in
terpret the action of the president in
ignoring these recommendations only
as deliberate attempt to ignore the
law under which the soffice of chief
of the militia bureau was created.
This law specifically states that the
president shall make his appointme ent
upon the recommendations of the
governors. Not only did General
Martin have the endorsement of two
thirds of the governors but he also
had the endorsement of the Adjutant
Generals association.
1t is the general impression here
and in national guard circles that the
| refusal of President Wilson to appoint
General Martin came from continued
opposition of the army circles,
| which undertook to 'get" General
Martin while he was in France during
| the late war.

Members of the roads and highways
subcommittee have agreed on provi-
sfons of a new motor license bill and

bill will probably be taken up by the
general committees at once and may
be introduced in the house and SEN

cense PURPOSES is made in the pro-
posed new law Under terms of the
bill as agreed upon by the sub-com-
nittee a fund of $1.500,00 a year in
addition to the regular motor license
revenue of $1.250,000 would be raised.
The proposed new law would give at
least $2,00e,e00 a year for hard sur
face or permanent road building in
Kansas.
Funds secured by various counties
under the proposed new law would be
used only in the counties where the
funds originate. The money would
be spent under direction of the

All Roads to Benefit.
Various classes OF road construc-
tion would be subject to benefit from
the funds. Earth roads of perpla-
nent character. gravel roads, ma
cadam roads or brick or cement high
ways would receive benefits.
A partial classification of cars for
road taxation purposes has been made
by the committee. Under the bill
motor truck owners would pay a min
imum fee of $40 a year for each car.
No maximum has been agreed upon.

mination will be the tonnage capac-
